Frequently Asked Questions

Customizations

Can I still have a customization of OutSystems Now?

The old version of OutSystems Now will remain open source and you can customize it. This version of OutSystems Now is a developer tool and cannot be customized. OutSystems 10 empowers users to easily generate a fully customized mobile app.

You can still use your customization just like today. However, we will not upgrade the open source code. This implies that security improvements or updates to Cordova will not be included in the Open Source version of OutSystems Now and you’ll have to be alert and keep your app up to date.

Native capabilities

What Mobile Plugins are included?

Not all Cordova plugins are included in OutSystems Now. There’s a list of supported plugins that you can test in OutSystems Now. If the plugin you are trying to use is not on that list, you cannot use it in OutSystems Now.

How does it work?

OutSystems Now is based on Cordova. It uses a WebView to render your OutSystems applications and relies on Cordova plugins to access native capabilities.

OutSystems Now Modules

Will I still need OutSystems Now component from Forge?

Yes, you will need to download the OutSystems Now component from Forge.

I can no longer edit the OutSystems Now modules in Service Studio. Why?

With OutSystems 10, OutSystems Now is part of the extended product. It’s included in the development lifecycle and to assure we provide our users the best experience, we’ve closed the modules. You can clone them and edit at your will if you use a customization of the previous version of OutSystems Now.
